Dear Dr Browning,

I have just noticed that you once
published a reply to Martin Broszat's
review in the Institut für Zeitgeschichte
journal VfZ, 1977, of my book HITLER'S
WAR. As you
can imagine I was not too pleased by Broszat's
review, and he refused me permission to publish
my own response which I thought was rather
shabby (for example: he accused me of
manipulating translations of the
Tischgespräche, without realising that what
I had used were the original Bormann-Vermerke,
provided to me by François Genoud).

Could I ask you for a copy of your
response, which appears to have been published
in the January 1981 VfZ? I would happily pay
copying costs, or perhaps you would accept in
response a copy of my published German
transcription (and annotation) of the
entire 1938 Goebbels
diary.

"Such people as David Irving have an
indispensable part in the historical enterprise,
and we dare not disregard their views."-
